The World Allergy Organisation estimates that between 30 and 50 per cent of the global population are at risk of developing an allergy. This text looks at allergies, the mechanisms that cause them, the ways in which the body responds and how they are diagnosed. Common treatments are examined, together with the different factors to be taken into account when trying to reduce exposure to allergy-causing substances.
